Gov. Hill of New York has signed a bill
which prohibits in that State, the heating OF
cars by stoves after May 1st. 1888, Recent
experiments have shown conclusively the
feasibility Of heating cars by steam from
the engine, and travellers may soon feel
sure that whatever else may happen they
are not in danger of being roasted alive.
1t is to be hoped that this reform will not
be confined to New York State.

TRIPoLITAN BEAUTYbeen extended in an
easterly, westerly, and southerly direct

months been laid which bring together
the lines of east and west Algiers, and
establish connections between Oran and
Constantine. One is no longer depend
ent for transportation upon diligences or
boats, for the Sd of last November
through railroad service between Oran
and Tunis was in operation and the first
regular through train was started. The
rejoicing that took place at the time was
detracted from by the explosion of the
boiler of the locomotive that pulled the
second train, and the loss of several
lives.
1t was a curious sight, travelling over
this road couple of weeks after it was
completed, to find Arabs, wearing tur-
bans and long, white robes, mounted
sometimes on camels or horses, but more
usually upon little donkeys, riding slow
ly along beside the railroad tracks. Al
giers and Oran, the two most impo rtant
cities OF Algiers, are modern. Constan-

the city was in power. An old Spanish
fort occupies the place where once
Queen Dido's palace stood, and the sea
has washed away the land and destroyed
the shore of the bay from which Eness
stole away to leave the fair Carthagenian
Queen disconsolate and ready to die
There is no spot in northern Africa SO
impressive as the complete and total
desolation on the side of the old Car
thagenian capital. Situated few miles
from there is the City of Tunis, the CAPT
tai of the country of the same name. In
a commercial way it preserves little of
the Phenician glory. 1t is few miles
distant from the sea, and its trade is al
most entirely retail, and confined to the
little shops which line the sides of the
narrow streets, and which, with their
chattering Arabian and Jewish proprie-
tors, are the most interesting sights of
the country. They are little square
boxes, some of them not more than six
or eight feet square, and each has little
square window or door. The owner sits
cross-legged on the floor and all his
goods are within reach of his hands, as
he smokes his pipe and quietly awaits
your purchase or your refusal to buy.
Either seems matter of indifference to
him. One sits down before him, sips
the little cup of black coffee filed with
thick grounds which the proprietor fur
nishes, and looks at everything he does
not want to buy. incidentally he picks
up what he wishes to purchase 1t is
much the safest and cheapest way. The
Jews form large proportion of the in
habitants of Tuns and devote themselves
to trade and money-making. They live
in quarter by themselves, though their
shops are to be found in the business
part of the town with those of the native
Arabs. The women are large and vOlup-
tuous in appearance, and in the eyes of
the Israelite beaux of Tunis by as much
as they are fatter are they more beauti
full. The portraits given are from pho
tographs of two of the young ladies
which | obtained from a friend. The
features of these Jewesses are often
very handsome. Seen in their finery on
the Sabbath they are very attractive.
They dress in silks of the most beautiful
colors, but their costume at first strikes
one as the least bit incomplete. 1t con-

ordinarily white, but black when the
wearer is in mourning, and a large, loose

OLD MOORISH TOWNS.
THE RUINS OF FAMOUS CARTHAGE.
Absurd Fancies of the Emperor of Moroc'
eo-Queen Dido's Palace-Some
Jewish Beauties.

To one unfamiliar with the habits of
African rulers it seems strange to think
of the head of somewhat extensive
empire going from the council-room and
the cares of state to find his recreation
with the toys and playthings of his
nursery. The present Emperor of Mo-
rocco is curious combination of Mos
lem craft and childlike simplicity. At
times he is monarch, managing the af-
fairs of his empire, and at other times
grown-up child amusing himself with
some new toy that has happened to
please his fancy. He has acquired not
little mechanical knowledge through his
craving for what is novel and ingenious.
One room of his palace is said to con-
tain great number of machines, some
very expensive, which he had transport
ed from foreign countries to his capital.
They, seem, however, to possess for him
no unitarian properties, for as soon as
they cease to amuse they are put aside
and stored away.
The most important seaport of this in
teresting emperor's dominions is the City
of Tangier, six hours sail from Cadiz,
in southern Spain, and only two and
half hours sail from the Island of Gil
braltar. No one who chances to be in
either of these places should fail to run
over to this curious old Moorish town,
where scarcely out of sight of the En-
glish and Spanish flags slaves can be
seen walking in the streets and working
in the fields just outside of the walls. 1t
is only year ago that the regular slave
market of Tangier was abolished. To
see men, women, and children openly
bought and sold in the market-place one
must now go inland to some of the in
terror towns-a journey which it is
hardly safe to take alone, but on which
one should have one or two armed SOL
diers accompany him.
